Hey Guys!
Just got back from my first low wind water session with the 19 mtr Psycho 4 and I was looking at a picture of the kite in the air and I see a slight
deformation of the trailing edge. IS the fifth line too tight? when I was cleaning the kite today I discovered that the fifth line had somehow
gotten wrapped around one of the center lines but just one time. Could that account for that little dip in the kite trailing edge?

Yep almost all the P4's I've seen have needed the 5th line lengthened.
either lengthen the 5th line a little bit or lengthen the z-bridle part of the 5th line by 4 inches.
per powerzones recommendations.
I have also had to shorten my mains on both my 15m and 10m P4's by 2-3 inches inorder to get them more centered on there sheeting range. before I did
this both kites would back stall when I pulled in on the bar unless I kept the trimmer at fully depowered. if you decide to shorten your mains do so
by shortening the black piece of rope between the aluminum block and the trim strap above your bar.
Regards,
Christian

Do you think that little twist could have made the difference? If you look very closely, you can see it in this picture.
If I need to lengthen the fifth line, how do I do it? Do I need a piece of that kind of line?
